North Texas puts up more high-speed rail money

Posted On Wednesday, 23 September 2015

High speed trains are poised to link Fort Worth to Houston and other metropolitan areas in Texas, following the approval by the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) of US$4.5 million up to 2018 for planning, design, project development and preliminary engineering. The plan calls for US$1.5 million per year to be spent on these activities starting in 2016; the current plan is to deliver high speed rail in the Dallas-Fort Worth-to-Houston corridor by 2021.
